* VAR code for results in Leduc, S. and K. Sill, "Expectations and Economic Fluctuations: An Analysis Using Survey Data,"
* Review of Economic and Statistics 95(4), October 2013, 1352-1367.
* This code generates the responses to a positive shock to expected unemployment in the second column of Figure 10, which uses the Michigan expectation data.
* To reproduce the results in Figure 10, the positive expectation shock must be converted to a negative one.

* This program produces the following:

*             where the response of the ith variable to a shock to the jth equation is
*             IRPOINT(i,j)

*             NVARS x NSHOCKS RECT[SERIES] of lower and upper points of the confidence
*             interval, each dimensioned in the same way as IRPOINT
* Thus, the impulse response and confidence intervals for y(i) in response to a shock to
* equation j are given by IRPOINT_(i,j) and LBAND_(i,j), UBAND_(i,j).
*
* The (i,j) refer to the order in which the variables are listed in Part 4.a - 4.b (which is
